ଶ୍ରୀ ଵିଠ୍ଠଲ ସ୍ତଵରାଜଃ (ରୁଦ୍ରପୁରାଣୋକ୍ତମ୍)

A stavaraja quoted from the Rudra Purana with the Vamakeshvara Tantra, framed as Narada's conversation with Vasistha, and carrying the full apparatus: Vyasa as its seer, Vitthala the supreme self as its deity, the three-formed as its seed, and a nyasa laid on the fingers before it begins. What sets it apart from the other Pandharpur hymns is that its dhyana is internal. The god is seen at the tip of the nose, fine as a spider's thread and the knower of that thread; Pandharpur is placed between Ganga and Yamuna, the Bhimarathi bank is identified with knowledge, and the shrine is found inside the brahmarandhra and on the thousand-petalled lotus, before the verses return to the outward image of yellow cloth, tulasi garland, conch and discus. The ten verses of praise that follow are equations, each closing vitthalaya namo namah.
